The Yellow Line: Rick Perry: Theocrat or Partisan Hack?

The Yellow Line: Rick Perry: Theocrat or Partisan Hack?: "On Sunday, Texas Governor Rick Perry, signed an abortion bill into law at a church school. Given my interest in Texas politics, some have questioned why I didn’t immediately comment on this. Well, 1) it no longer surprises me when certain Republicans explicitly link their party and policies to socially conservative Christianity. And 2) it’s one of those acts so profoundly ridiculous that it takes a few days to sink in.

Let me recap. The Governor of Texas signed a bill into law at a church. Forget what bill it was, that doesn’t matter. What’s important is that he created law at a church. Could you imagine what would happen if a Muslim politician in America signed a bill into law at a Mosque?"
